School starts for my children in less than a month...yikes! So, I was glad to get a reminder from The Ultimate Green Store about how much waste goes into lunch packing every year! Consider these tips next time you are packing your child's lunch.
Each school year, the average student generates 67 pounds of school lunch packaging waste. Multiply that by the number of school-aged kids in the country and that's billions of pounds of waste. Please consider reducing the amount of lunchtime waste your family generates. Think about what you can do to cut down on waste. Here are a few suggestions for getting started:
Pack a cloth napkin instead of a paper napkin (the cloth napkins The Ultimate Green Store sells are organic cotton.)
Pack stainless-steel utensils instead of using disposable plastics.
Pack a reusable drink container instead of disposable juice boxes, juice pouches, cans, and plastic bottles.
Pack lunch items in reusable containers. The Laptop Lunchboxes The Ultimate Green Store sells work well because they allow for an appealing horizontal presentation. Avoid using plastic wraps, plastic bags, wax-paper bags, and aluminum foil.
Avoid purchasing pre-packaged items. Buy foods in larger containers and leave them at home for recycling.
Pack lunches in a lunch box or backpack instead of relying on paper or plastic bags.

Tell your friends and consider starting a waste-free lunch program at your school!

We were talking about how couponing really pays off! It has become amazing to us how quickly it all adds up and takes off that final total! We have a challenge. We want to see and share with you, our readers, how much we can and have saved.
Ann's challenge involves her double couponing that she does at Pick 'n Save every Wednesday. She breaks up her orders to $25 each order (before coupons) so that she can have multiple transactions. She used reuseable bags (when she remembers!).
Betsy's challenge involves her couponing. No doubling will count just what is strictly saved from coupons and reuseable bags.
So, we will be showing you how we do it and how it really does add up! You will see one person's savings that involves coupons, double coupons, and reuseable bags. You will see one person's log of just coupons - not doubled. It will be fun to see how those coupons add up.
We are going to put our savings in a separate "pot" each. This way we will update you at the end how much is in our "pot." Let us know what you think. We LOVE to hear from our readers!

We are challenging ourselves...
As you know getting 40 bottles of Maalox for free is not our goal but we do want to get great deals!
We are trying to see how much we can save by thinking smart and being a good couponer.

Ann is going to share how much additional money she is able to save by grocery shopping on Wednesdays at Pick N Save for double coupon day (she will also be adding the savings on reusable bags.)
Those doubled $1.00 coupons are really a great savings!

Betsy is going to see how much she saves by just using coupons while shopping.
Even $.25 off is going to add up! (She will also be sharing how much she saves using reusable bags.)

At the end of August we are going to see how much you can save by being smart and shopping with coupons!

*Stay tuned as we will give you weekly updates as to our coupon savings every Saturday!*
